Sunset DIM technology: LED which dims like halogen
24.2.2014Sunset DIM is patented technology where the colour of the LED gets warmer as it is dimmed in the same way as a conventional halogen light source. Sunset DIM technology not only reduces both the luminous intensity and colour temperature of the light source when dimmed, but does so following the same colour change curve as a halogen lamp, meaning a gradual and smooth shift between 2900°K and 1800°K over the dimming range of 100% – 0%. This makes Sunset DIM perfectly suited to applications such as hospitality and residential environments where warm accent lighting is required to create mood.
This is achieved through the use of 3 different kinds of LED types (ultra high power density LED chips from premium chip manufacturer Lumileds) and 4 different LED colours for a consistent colour match to MR16 halogen light sources, while patented optics present the visual appearance of conventional MR16 halogen lamps.
In addition to this, phosphor conversion technology holds the CRI high throughout the brightness range and keeps the colour consistent across a wide range of operating temperatures.
“Step-less” colour changing delivers a smooth and continuous change of colour throughout the brightness range, consistently from 100% down to 0% of maximum intensity.
Sunset DIM operates with conventional phase control or DALI control gear from Diginet.
Sunset DIM is employed in the Hero MR and Super Hero MR LED sources, ensuring both the visual appearance and functionality of the traditional halogen reflector lamp.
